U.S. Stocks: Today vs. 1938

I am not sure how accurate comparisons to the Great Depression are. We have a totally different economy - no rural. A much high percentage of people today invest. We are better educated, more informed. Home mortgages did not exist in the 30's.The global economy was very small as compared to today.

Strong RMB, Yen Not Good for the World

The value of a country's currency is just one factor in global trade as are tariffs etc. The market place should set the value of currency not government policy to encourage trade. China's policy of keeping their currency low helps their economy at the expense of others. I do not agree at all with the thoughts expressed here.
